Working and paying taxes is for suckers. Be a homeless loser instead and live like a king!

It’s called The Graft Towers.

Cant you just hear the sap-happy progs?

“Homeless people should be treated with dignity
and we’ll make the taxpayers pay for it.”

It will be completely trashed within six months of occupation.

Who’s going to be managing this facility? Someone with a corrections background? They had better be tough as nails, because they’re going to dealing with pure crazy, day in and day out.

I agree that that has been the case in the past and likely case here as well. Is there no possible way to manage this property that results in it staying nice or are the residents by definition too feral, mentally ill, drug addled, sociopathic to have any other result? I know this sounds like the saps who say communism never works because the right people aren’t running it the right way but COULD such a property be managed so that the destructive homeless are chased back out to living under bridges and overpass and those who stay live responsibly? Could a tough love approach teach lasting lessons in behavior here?

A couple of weeks after moving in, that ‘nicer’ feeling will dissipate... The fridge, stove, washer, dryer and dishwashing machine will ‘disappear’. Then the walls will be full of holes, dents and scrapes and in about a month or two, that once ‘nicer’ space will be a meth den, or crack house.

Didn’t take long for the Great Society tenements of the 60’s to turn into hell-holes.

The fact that they'll be living with a gaggle of fentanyl addicts who will turn this building into a complete s***hole would definitely deter most sane people.

The architectural style is quite Soviet in a cold and yet unappealing way…

I could do it if it saved me $3000 month rent in LA.

It would look like Eddie Murphy”s apartment in Coming to America.
